It’s that time of year again. Well, usually I start earlier in the season with mock drafts but there has been so much movement at the college level and a few surprises in the NFL that it was hard to see which teams would focus on which positions – and which players’ stock would rise/fall.
There has been one constant this year, though. Saquon Barkley at Penn State has emerged as the elite running back in this year’s class; he may be elite for this generation.
So with all of that in mind, let’s start it off where we usually do: the Cleveland Browns are on the clock…

Filed under: NFL Mock Draft
A TE for Cleveland as the first pick of Round 2? After Njoku, Teifer and Devalve have looked pretty decent? I don't think so. They don't need OL or DL they need DBs and WRs.
Also, no DBs but more OL and DL. The TE pick takes the cake, though. You should really reconsider this.
